-Set includes 659pieces and 6 minifigs.

At the time when this set came out it was overpriced but since its the Millenium Falcon I had to get it anyways.

This set takes a surprisingly long time to build. (about 1 and a half hours when the pieces are somewhat organized)(the recent Vladeks Dark Fortress which has 967 pieces took me the same amount of time when the pieces where organized)

You star with a square base a slowly work your way up layering on bricks until you get the main hull done. If you have a nice hard surface to build on you can push the bricks down really good and then this set ends up very sturdy.

This set ends up being fairly large (about 15 inches long, 12 inches wide, and about 5 inches tall.) The interior is pretty big but yet there are not very many small details. There is no hyperdrive (luckily that was added to the new falcon) and the compartment under the floor is only big enough for one mini-fig laying on their back. The escape pod is nice and slides out of the ship nicely but it is not airtight! The boarding ramp is pretty cool but it should be a bit longer so when its lowered down its not so steep) and should be a bit wider as well. The gathering area with the playing board is very nice and you can even fit all the minifigs in that space if carefully placed. This set should have come with a lightsaber, blast helmet, and Obi-Wan so that Luke could do some training. The cockpit should be big enough to fit 4 minifgs (but then the whole ship needs to be bigger to be the correct size ratio). At the moment you can fit 2 characters in the cockpit but then there is the problem of being no walkway to conect to the rest of the ship.

Its too bad that LEGO had not made a much larger Millenium Falcon on their second attempt. An accurate LEGO Falcon needs to be about 2 feet long then there would be enough room for all the small details as the ship would be the right scale with the mini-figs.

Although there are quite a few things wrond with the ship you can help liking it a lot. The exterior is arguably better looking than the new version but yet it is missing some of the details that were included with the new version.

Overall this set is pretty sweet with great minifigs and tons of playability. I give it an 8.5 out of 10.

At last! I've got set No. 7190 off eBay! And it cost me a maximum bid of £74.55. It will come to me for the first time in its original likeness to me on my birthday. On May 17th, my dad will build it up with me. I tell you what, It will be like a little father/son quality time together me and him. I even made a contract saying I will NOT break it up into bits. Anyhow, I'm raised in England and it's a nice model. And that's it. As Marvel Comics' Stan Lee said 'Nuff said!'

I'm a teenage fan of Star Wars in the United Kingdom and it's fun to get the things you never had as a child. Now there is one thing I'm getting and it is in my own experience a great set. I was a preteen shopping at Toys 'R' Us with my nine year old brother Chris and my Dad when I first looked at that set and I thought "Oh my god. That set's lovely." That when it gave me pause for thought. I want to get it, but my father would say "Sorry Mike. That will cost us more than we bargained."
So I had no other choice but to let it go. I really could have wanted it. Honest. I'm not sure what's in my future, BUT, I repeat But I won't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever infininty let it be repeated my past dumb insolence. Anyway, I like this set because the characters I like from the Classic Trilogy are Han Solo, Chewbacca and Princess Leia. I'm eager to get that set like I should have done a long time ago. But, I'm sure I can reverse and old wrong in my life. With Ebay! May the bricks be with you! Thanks for reading!

This set is amazing! A feat of engineering for lego and a pioneer for future generations of spaceships.
PROS: cool minifigs

How can you not give this set a 10???? It's got Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, C-3PO, & R2-D2! And you gotta love the chess table. And besides, IT'S THE MILLENNNIUM FALCON!

An excellent playset; you can swoosh it and then take the top off and play with the interior. This is the most fun of the Star Wars sets.
